I believe that sustainable change is best achieved through collective efforts, which has shaped my commitment to teamwork, integrity, effective communication, leadership, transparency, accountability, and continuous learning. These values have been instrumental in my achievements over the past 12 months, including winning the Social Impact Seed Fund (SISF) from the Harvard Aspire Institute, successfully executing the Tailor Her Future initiative, and being a finalist for the Green Innovator of the Year Award 2024 by QS Impact. I look forward to furthering my impact by joining the YALI RLC Online Cohort 22.
